Please install "TFix" BEFORE installing the HD Mod! DO NOT install "TFix" AFTERWARDS!Also you should NOT install "TGTool" instead of TFix because it brings issues!TFix: unofficial patch for Thief1/GoldTFix is an all-in-one fix pack for Thief and Thief Gold (apply & play, no other fixes are necessary). it uses NewDark, the brand new update of the Dark Engine - this improves compatibility with new pcs significantly, fixes graphic issues, adds support for widescreen resolutions and much more (see the notes, including the final one).

After a correct installation the HDMOD folder should be directly in your Thief 1 / Gold directory!

Because of to many changes there is no patch from version 1.0 to 1.2!

Full Installer

What is LAA (Large Address Aware):

Problem: Game or DromEd is running out or close to run out of memory (i.e. process uses between 1.5GB and 2GB memory. Especially noticable when using hires texture packs or FMs with loats of hires textures.

Solution: * If you have 3GB or more system memory you can try to patch the EXE file to enable Large Address Aware, to allow the process to use more than 2GB memory.

The HD mod v1.2 uses its own improved objects. This means that the EP2 (Thief Enhancement Pack 2.0) will be ignored. So it is no longer necessary to download the EP2 pack!

!!!You have to enable Vsync!!!There is a NewDark problem what a user has found today. It has nothing to do with the HD mod. It also happens with TFix! In "The Haunted Cathedral" mission those pedestals (you put stones on it to open the gates) don't work if Vsynch is set to off! This is a strange NewDark problem. Also in "Down in the Bonehoard" the falling rock trap isn't working if Vsync is set to off! And i think there are more problems who exist!

So Vsync has to be ON -> for EVERYONE!

You can activate it with the "NewDark Graphics Settings Tool"!

That's it! Enjoy the Game!

NOTE: For all those who have installed v1.0 or an older version:=============================================================Please use the HD MOD UNINSTALLER or DELETE THE "HDMOD" FOLDER from your thief gold main directory and start the setup installer from version 1.2!Better you start with a clean fresh installation of the game!

What is the "Water Mod Tool"?

With the new "Water Mod Tool" you can choose between 5 different water types. Change your thief water when ever you want!

Please do NEVER try to edit the "cam_ext.cfg" manually... don´t play with the files! The tool may not work correctly after that! Use ALWAYS the "NewDark Graphics Settings" tool!

DO NOT OVERRIDE THE "cam_ext.cfg" FILE WITH ANOTHER!

Don't use this tool for Thief 2! The game will crash!

There are also preview images for all configs (full color version)! Open the "NewDark Graphics Settings" tool and click on the "Config Preview" buttons on the left window corner below!

Fog-FX: ======= (Applies only to the following missions - Escape!, Strange Bedfellows, Into The Maw of Chaos!) You can deactivate the "Fogging FX" if you don't like it.To do that, start the game and select "options" -> "video".

You don't get any info about the loot you steal - there is only the sound...?

Take a look at the game options: Options > Game > Auto-Equip

Set it to "ON" !

How To Enable Screenshots in Steam:

Go into your game installation folder and open up the file "cam_ext.cfg" with notepad and search for ;d3d_disp_no_rgb10_bufRemove the semicolon (;) at the front, save and exit. Steam screenshots should work now!

Can I donate? This HD mod project is free available for everyone and stays that way! This is also in mind of the developer! But into this project was invested over three years of hard work. So it is your own free choice to make a small donate for the developer. Thank you!

Hello Bentraxx! Thanks for making such a cool mod but apparently... for me it doesn't work.

I have Win 7 SP1 (x64) with AMD Radeon 7800 series and intelcore i3 3.30GHz. My game is Thief Gold on Steam. It's installed on a different partition than Windows.

I did everything as was mentioned in here: Moddb.com
even with installing DIRECTX9 and VC+ 2008 as the Tfix said. I didn't open the game before installing all of these components and I did disable my Steam for it. I run every installation as admin.

I have no idea what I did wrong, I am sure textures in my game are not these HD, comparing to your videos on YT. The only difference I noticed is that it got rid off the Vsync (that's something!). I wasn't sure if I should have had my NewDark Graphics Settings opened before running the game. There was no "save" option also...

What am I supposed to do now to get your mod working properly on my PC?
Thanks in advance

I have a question. Some of the textures appear to be the older variety from the original Thief game. Is this supposed to be like that? I attached some screenshots from the training mission so you can see.

Maybe the problem could be your hardware...
I think i will create the "sign" textures for the "Cragscleft" mission these days...

Hallo maplesyrup87 and welcome to the forum!

these textures are from the "Thief Enhancement Pack 2.0".
That happens when you install "TFix" Patch after the HD Mod! Open up the file called "cam_mod.ini" with notepad and make sure that the last line looks like this (you can copy it from here!):mod_path hdmod+hdmod\t2skies+ep2\thief1+ep2+usermods+patches

your 5 step process was simple and works flawlessly so far on Thief gold through steam. Now I downloaded Thief 2 through steam as well. Do i follow the same 5 steps for T2, are there additional steps? sorry if you answered this already above. Thanks.

Hey Bentraxx. I just started preparing for my run through Assassins and I'm finding that multiple fires close to each other in Ramirez's mansion are crippling my framerate. Any chance we could get a lite version of the fire FX with an option to turn it on or off?

I just realized I made a few mistakes in my video.

1. None of the optional components added by TFix are needed. T2 Skies and Daemonite's Meshes are already included in the HD mod. T2 Water is unnecessary because of the new Water Mod Tool, and oRGy's Texture Pack is unnecessary because it replaces many of the same textures that come with the HD mod. The Thief Enhancement Pack that comes with TFix is v1 and doesn't need to be installed if you are planning on using Thief Enhancement Pack v2 as Bentraxx suggests in Step 5.

2. If you use TFix a second time to uninstall or re-install optional components, it will change your cam_mod.ini file. If you use TFix again at any point after installing the HD mod and you don't feel like editing ini files, just re-install the HD mod by running the installer and patch again. That will overwrite anything TFix changed.
